#GRABilly WHERE ARE WE?

Today at school we worked together to write some clues about our geographical location for our #GRABilly friends. Read through our clues and guess where we are:

We are in your future! We are 12 hours ahead of you (EST).

We are in the westernmost state of Australia.

The indigenous people of our area say “Kia, Noongar Boodja.”

Our city is the capital of our state.

Our suburb is near Leach Highway and the Kwinana Freeway.

Were are near a train station which has two words in its name.

We are near the Mount Henry Bridge which crosses the Canning River.

Our suburb is named after Henry Bull.

Do us a favour #GRABilly friends. Leave a comment here with some clues about where you live? It’s just like a mystery Skype, but with words only. We will use our think-like-a-geographer skills to work out where you are. Thanks to Mrs Harrison’s class for this great idea.

1. We are in your past! We are 12 hours behind of you (EST).
2. Our country is made up of 50 states.
3. Our state is on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
4. Our state is nicknamed The Garden State.
5. Our town is about 35 miles southwest of New York City.
6. Our town borders the Raritan River.
7. Our town is named after a great inventor (because of this inventor we can see at night).

1. We are on the East coast of the United States.
2. We live in a well-known state that neighbors New York.
3. We live in an urban area along the Hudson River.
4. Our city is one of the biggest cities in our state.
5. Our neighborhood has views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
6. There are many ferry companies to get to New York City from our neighborhood.
7. We are a few blocks from the Grove Street PATH station. (The PATH is a train system that connects New Jersey and New York City.
8. Our neighborhood was the site of a major battle of the American Revolutionary War.

1. We are in your past! It is 2:15pm on Tuesday, Oct 13/15 and it is Wednesday, Oct 14/15 at 5:15am where you are 🙂
2. We are in the Northern Hemisphere, and we speak two languages (we are bilingual – English and French).
3. We just celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday (Monday, Oct 12/15).
4. Our national sport in the winter is hockey and the summer is lacrosse.
5. Our national animal is the beaver and we can get lots of snow here (it can -30 degrees Celsius).
6. We are also in the Westernmost part of our country, and our city’s name is the same as Prince William & Dutchess Kate’s baby son.

Yes, we are in a place called Prince George, British Columbia, Canada (great detective work Austin)! Thanks for the compliment about speaking two languages – we think it’s pretty cool too! Are you replying from Perth, Australia or are you somewhere else in the world? (Mrs. Kieller & her Grade 4/5 class)

We used your clues, our desk maps of the world and Google Maps to find you. We found two primary schools near Bull Creek in Western Australia. One was Bull Creek Primary School and the other was Oberthur Primary School. Our best guess is that your class is in Bull Creek Primary School, because you mentioned Henry Bull in your clues, and Bull Creek Primary is closer to the train station and the bridge. Are we correct?

Thanks for your clues! We had a lot of fun trying to find you. We took a break for lunch and recess, but will be writing our clues for you after that. More soon!!!

Great job, you got the right suburb, and the right state, but you got the school wrong.
We aren’t in Bull creek primary school, or obertha primary school.
Another clue:
10. We may look like we are a university by our name.

Sorry your incorrect. Yes we are in Bull Creek but we are not in the two schools you mentioned. We aren’t just a primary school we are also Highschool. Here is a another clue we are located near highway 7.

I think you are at Northeast Elementary School in the city of Ithaca of New York state in the United states. New York state which capital city is Albany, is 12 hours behind us and on the northern hemisphere. You are in the United States as it has 50 States and your continent touches the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. Your city Ithaca is the home of Cornell University and is in the central part of the New York state. Lastly I looked at the map and found that Northeast Elementary School is at the southern end of one of the Finger Lakes and within walking distance to Cornell Lab of Ornithology and even shorter walk (about 4 minutes) to Dewitt Middle School.
